hstacks is an IaC Platform for Hetzner Cloud.

With hstacks, you can define, deploy and manage infrastructure in your Hetzner Cloud account using standardised, shareable, and customisable templates - enabling you to deploy your infrastructure how you like, when you like.

This means you can spend less time setting up your infrastructure in Hetzner Cloud, and more time doing what you do best - building great applications on a fantastic platform.

Infrastucture can be defined with templates, which can be used to deploy Stacks. A Stack is just a simple bit of JSON that you can put together following the hstacks documentation or examples - or with our super-simple dashboard.

Once you have your Template, you can deploy it with the hstacks dashboard, or via the hstacks API - enabling you to create, manage, and delete resources as you need them.

hstacks doesn’t host or manage infrastructure for you, it uses the Hetzner Cloud API to create and manage resources for you in your own Hetzner Cloud account. So you’ll need to be a Hetzner Cloud customer to build things!

I built hstacks! I'm Sean M. Tracey.

I’ve been building products and services with Cloud Platforms for over a decade, and I’m a huge fan of Hetzner Cloud. I built hstacks so everyone has a simple, repeatable, reliable way to deploy infrastructure with either the click of a button, or a HTTP request.

Hetzner Cloud is great. It’s cheap, it’s fast, and it’s super-simple to use - but it doesn’t have a dedicated IaC product. I needed IaC for my projects, and I wanted to use Hetzner Cloud, so I’ve built one - and you can use it too!

My core philosophy is that technology should be easy and accessible to everybody. I think hstacks can make that a reality by enabling people to build and share on one of the best IaaS platforms out there: Hetzner Cloud.

Please note I’m not affiliated with Hetzner Cloud in any way. I’m just a fan who needed a product and built one that everyone could use.

Right now, hstacks is in beta, so it's free! Although I may charge for some features in the future.

I think that’s a fair deal. So, give it a go!

But for now, it’s free, so go check out the docs, create an account and (most importantly) go build great things with it!
